The arrival of the pandemic has been a particularly testing time for most of us. The personal and professional demands pre-covid weren’t easy to begin with, but the pandemic brought along with it new challenges adding to the pre-existing ones. Bearing this in mind, I offer
psychoanalytic
psychotherapy, termed as the 'talking cure' that helps you become aware of of patterns that may contribute to a re-alignment of your awareness. My aim is to utilize my skills to help reduce psychological distress and enhance quality of life. To contribute towards the well being of my clients, through understanding and insight into their life.
Affective Harmony - Psychoanalysis
Registered Social Worker, MA, RSW
Verified
My concentration has been on existentialism and phenomenology ( philosophies that take human experience as their point of departure), with special focus on the
psychoanalytic
approach.
Emphatic listening to help you delve deeply into your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Overcome emotional suffering through self exploration and towards inner harmony. The experience of inner disruption or disturbance, emptiness or disquietude, is familiar to almost all individuals seeking psychotherapy. Yet, the search for meaning and transcendence in such suffering allows the patient to attain a harmonious, wholesome existence. The psychoanalytical approach will allow you to discover the origins and meaning of suffering in order to build, re-establish, and reinforce the balance of being-in-the-world.

Registered Psychotherapist

The therapeutic encounter fosters acceptance of what has, or has not happened to you in your life. It's a transformative experience that allows you to know yourself profoundly and helps you move forward in your life. I use the
psychoanalytic
approach, which is based on working through your internal conflicts and puzzling self-sabotaging behaviours. Using dreams, free association and working with the "here and now" of our relationship, we work together to address what prompted you to seek help.
Ann Baranowski
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD

I offer
psychoanalytic
psychotherapy which recognizes the existence of an unconscious mind that influences how we behave, think, and feel. Together we pay attention to what matters to you. Therapy is a conversation, but it is a very unique kind of conversation. Much of this conversation involves deep listening on my part. I also help you stay with your experience in order that the possible meanings of such things as painful emotional and relational patterns, dreams, physical symptoms, and fantasies can emerge.

As a relational psychotherapist, I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are searching for meaning and new direction in their lives. Based on over 25 years of experience working with clients, I realize that there is no one method to be used with every client. Pulling on a wide range of modalities, I tailor our way of working based on the client's needs and issues. Also as a Jungian, I have come to understand the value of working with dreams in order to tune into the deep unconscious currents in the psyche.

Do you often feel lost and exhausted in your own thoughts? Are you struggling with substance use? Or do you feel that something is weighing you down but you just can’t seem to figure out why? If you are looking to gain some perspective on your thoughts and feelings, gestalt therapy is a good place to start. As a Gestalt therapist, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore what is bothering you in the present moment.

Emotional pain is an inherent part of the human experience, but you don’t have to go through it alone. In our therapy, we will work thorough your struggles and together create a clear path for you to feel in control and content with your life. You'll enter a non-judgmental space where you can truly be you, with the ability to express your innermost thoughts and feelings. I will meet you where you are in your journey with acceptance and compassion. I work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, attachment issues and interpersonal concerns such as work, family, intimate partnerships and friendships.
Kirstyn Greenside
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW

In a culture focused on body image and beauty, it is completely natural that we internalize shame, guilt, and dysmorphia around our bodies and food. If this sounds like you, you are not alone. Food restricting & bingeing, and compulsive exercising, may have been coping strategies to handle deeper-rooted issues-- they have acted as a means of control and comfort, when maybe you felt like you had none. The purpose of my practice is to foster sustainable emotional growth-- this means a relationship with your body that encourages self-worth, value, and connection.

I've come to this professional life as a therapist after years as an English instructor (ESL), a server, and a professional musician. Many of us these days are feeling depressed and/or anxious about life and how to move forward. We are looking for direction in our lives and relief from our problems. I know that it requires courage to trust another with your story, but there is so much to be gained from speaking about it. Together, we can work to discover a deeper sense and better understanding of who you are as a person. When you're ready, I'll be ready as well and we can work to change your life for the better.

Any of us may become scared or frustrated by events in our lives. Sometimes parts of our lives just don't seem to be working out. We may become unhappy and come to an impasse. It is inevitable that we come face to face with a crisis of illness or loss. Some may have experienced a relationship breakdown or disturbing dreams and memories. Any one of these can make life seem overwhelming. Even when we find the courage to admit what's happening, those closest to us are not equipped to help us. At these times it is often helpful to talk with a therapist

Welcome! It takes a lot of bravery to consider beginning therapy, and I commend you. You contain more power and agency than you think. You can learn to bear pain more gracefully, really mourn old or ongoing traumas, and have more discernment when relating to others. You can feel a connection to and love for your unconscious self, that part of you that is often in charge, with or without your conscious participation. In time, we will come to see you better through your body sensations, dreams, and relationships. Rather than fighting ourselves we can learn to embrace ourselves, bringing us more influence over our own lives.
